Post Recommendations?????

I recently got id of my 01 civic for a 99 civic ex

I like the 5 sp in it and the exhaust but i have a oil leak
so i figured out that the oil pan doesnt leak and it is my main and rear main seal
that leaks oil so i was wondering while i have the engine out what else should i
install
the car has 131200 miles
so should i do the
timeing belt
clutch
water pump
and maybe a rebuild kit
and here is the rebuild kit link

thanks!

Re: Recommendations?????

Me thinks that might be a spam bot.
As for you, might as well get the Timing Belt(all the other belts as well too!) and water pump done. Chances are it wasn't changed. I've always been shady with anything from eBay. I mean, if it's a reputable seller, then you should be good. I'd still go with OEM stuff, but that's just my opinion. At least the stuff is warrantied if something bad does happen.

1) Put the request in writing. It does not have to be a formal letter to the teacher, but in our busy days, a casual "Hey Mr. G, can you write a recommendation for me?" is easily forgotten.
Hi for gods sake do not put this request in letter format, Im not sure where "Alex John" became a teacher but if what you wrote is not writing than I dont know what is. We are on a forum, not in a classroom teachers irritate me. Any way, I dont see why you would change the clutch, unless its burnt or needs to be changed (mighty expensive to just randomly change it lol) ,timing belt is definatley recommended before any upgrades especially since your a bit over the recommended mileage, I would reccomend you changed your timing belt before any engine upgrades.
Happy Upgrading
